Air-Purifying Vacuums

The 'Purifi' Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Would Suck Up Dirt, Debris and More

— April 13, 2016 — Art & Design
There's very little difference between a vacuum and an air purifier, so the 'Purifi' handheld vacuum cleaner is designed to be a mix of both. Packed with an internal fan that powerfully picks up dirt, the 'Purifi' will also help to purify the air within the home thanks to the incorporated HEPA filter.

After use, the 'Purifi' would be able to be cleaned with water and used again to decrease the instance of having to constantly replace filters. The conceptual 'Purifi' handheld vacuum cleaner is the work of Nicole Assini and offers a view of what could come in the near future to revolutionize home cleaning.

The 'Purifi' acts as a traditional air purifier when placed in the accompanying dock to ensure the unit stays as useful and agile as possible.
